The sweetest honey Is loathsome in his own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite.

So close to perfection,

molded from memory

So painstakingly real

The candles dimmed

so as to not soften the edges

Yet the wax still melts

Slowly the defined lines trickle down the sillhouette

Beads of your memory slipping

If only the Sun could love wax

The way my hands love you

Eileen Gu and her iconic Bubble dress at the Met Gala 2026.

The Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier showed off the high-tech Iris van Herpen gown featuring thousands of glass bubbles that released actual bubbles as she walked the red carpet.

Hidden within the garment, microprocessors precisely coordinated the release of pressured gas bubbles, sequenced through a dedicated digital interface and calibrated to operate autonomously. 15 000 hand-formed iridescent glass bubbles were individually bonded in place with UV light, releasing constellations of bubbles that floated into the air.

Music: Herbie Hancock, Bubbles

Not only is the whale shark (Rhincodon typus) the world’s largest shark—it’s also the world’s largest fish! Growing up to 40 ft (12 m) long and weighing more than 40,000 lbs (18,144 kg), it’s often regarded as a gentle giant. Don’t be alarmed by its colossal mouth: This slow-moving species is a filter feeder, gulping down small marine animals like shrimp and plankton. It can be spotted in warm waters around the world, traveling thousands of miles each year to find food.

Did you know? Sharks and their relatives have been swimming in Earth’s oceans for about 450 million years. That's long before there were humans, dinosaurs, or even trees!

Chasing Jade has figured out that the best thing a male character written for women can be is a terrifyingly deadly force of nature and a fragile wet-eyed invalid needing tlc AT THE SAME TIME.
